A promotion (促销活动) offering 98yuan plane tickets is popular these days on Chinese social media. But with such a low price, the buyer is not told where the plane is going, nor when it will take off.
Some people have been trying to book them for the coming May Day holiday, which is expected to be the best time to travel. To book the tickets, passengers only need to provide their travel information, choose a takeoff airport and then pay their 98 yuan. If the users are not satisfied with the randomly (随机地) chosen date and destination,_they may ask for a refund (退款), but once they “lock in (锁住)” their tickets, there is no going back.
Young people are believed to be interested in this promotion, because they not only enjoy the excitement of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives by doing such things. It doesn't matter whether they finally go or not, because posting tickets to an unknown destination on social media can still show their adventurous (爱冒险的) spirit.
“The promotion must have been well planned and is not as random as it seems. It may not have popular destinations. So the airlines may still make much money even though the price is 98 yuan,” one Internet user said.
“I enjoy the risk. And I don't have to go somewhere special. I'm excited to see what I will get for my May Day holiday,” another Internet user Qin said.

24.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中这个人说的话可知,他感兴趣的不是去哪里,而且从未知旅行中获得的乐趣。
